  • M2021: Pharmacogenetic Testing
    Pharmacogenetic Testing Policy Number: AHS – M2021 – Pharmacogenetic Prior Policy Name and Number, as applicable: Testing • M2021 – Cytochrome P450 Initial Presentation Date: 06/16/2021 Revision Date: N/A I. Policy Description Pharmacogenetics is defined as the study of variability in drug response due to heredity (Nebert, 1999). Cytochrome (CYP) P450 enzymes are a class of enzymes essential in the synthesis and breakdown metabolism of various molecules and chemicals. Found primarily in the liver, these enzymes are also essential for the metabolism of many medications. CYP P450 are essential to produce many biochemical building blocks, such as cholesterol, fatty acids, and bile acids. Additional cytochrome P450 are involved in the metabolism of drugs, carcinogens, and internal substances, such as toxins formed within cells. Mutations in CYP P450 genes can result in the inability to properly metabolize medications and other substances, leading to increased levels of toxic substances in the body. Approximately 58 CYP genes are in humans (Bains, 2013; Tantisira & Weiss, 2019). Thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) is an enzyme that methylates azathioprine, mercaptopurine and thioguanine into active thioguanine nucleotide metabolites. Azathioprine and mercaptopurine are used for treatment of nonmalignant immunologic disorders; mercaptopurine is used for treatment of lymphoid malignancies; and thioguanine is used for treatment of myeloid leukemias (Relling et al., 2011). Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), encoded by the gene DPYD, is a rate-limiting enzyme responsible for fluoropyrimidine catabolism. The fluoropyrimidines (5-fluorouracil and capecitabine) are drugs used in the treatment of solid tumors, such as colorectal, breast, and aerodigestive tract tumors (Amstutz et al., 2018). A variety of cell surface proteins, such as antigen-presenting molecules and other proteins, are encoded by the human leukocyte antigen genes (HLAs).

  • Different Beta-Blocking Effects of Carvedilol and Bisoprolol in Humans

Koshucharova, R. Zweiker, R. Maier, P. Lercher, V. Stepan, W. Klein, K. Stoschitzky Bisoprolol is a beta1-selective beta-adrenergic antagonist while carvedilol is a non-selective beta-blocker with additional blockade of alpha1-adrenoceptors. Administration of bisoprolol has been shown to cause up-regulation of β-adrenoceptor density and to decrease nocturnal melatonin release, whereas carvedilol lacks these typical effects of beta-blocking drugs. The objective of the present study was to investigate beta-blocking effects of bisoprolol and carvedilol in healthy subjects. We compared the effects of single oral doses of clinically recommended amounts of bisoprolol (2.5, 5 and 10 mg) and carvedilol (25, 50 and 100 mg) to those of placebo in a randomised, double-blind, cross-over study in 12 healthy male volun- teers. Three hours after oral administration of the drugs heart rate and blood pressure were measured at rest, after 10 min. of exercise, and after 15 min.

  • TRANDATE® (Labetalol Hydrochloride) Tablets
    NDA 18716/S-026 Page 2 PRODUCT INFORMATION TRANDATE® (labetalol hydrochloride) Tablets DESCRIPTION: Trandate Tablets are adrenergic receptor blocking agents that have both selective alpha1-adrenergic and nonselective beta-adrenergic receptor blocking actions in a single substance. Labetalol hydrochloride (HCl) is a racemate chemically designated as 2-hydroxy-5-[1-hydroxy-2-[(1­ methyl-3-phenylpropyl)amino]ethyl]benzamide monohydrochloride, and it has the following structure: Labetalol HCl has the empirical formula C19H24N2O3•HCl and a molecular weight of 364.9. It has two asymmetric centers and therefore exists as a molecular complex of two diastereoisomeric pairs. Dilevalol, the R,R′ stereoisomer, makes up 25% of racemic labetalol. Labetalol HCl is a white or off-white crystalline powder, soluble in water. Trandate Tablets contain 100, 200, or 300 mg of labetalol HCl and are taken orally. The tablets also contain the inactive ingredients corn starch, FD&C Yellow No. 6 (100- and 300-mg tablets only), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, lactose, magnesium stearate, pregelatinized corn starch, sodium benzoate (200-mg tablet only), talc (100-mg tablet only), and titanium dioxide. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: Labetalol HCl combines both selective, competitive, alpha1-adrenergic blocking and nonselective, competitive, beta-adrenergic blocking activity in a single substance. In man, the ratios of alpha- to beta-blockade have been estimated to be approximately 1:3 and 1:7 following oral and intravenous (IV) administration, respectively. Beta2-agonist activity has been demonstrated in animals with minimal beta1-agonist (ISA) activity detected. In animals, at doses greater than those required for alpha- or beta-adrenergic blockade, a membrane stabilizing effect has been demonstrated.
